APO DP: Disaggregation to product&plant level from higher levels.

247 Views

Hi.

We do demand planning on groups of products and for country/region in general, we have around 48.000 CVC's in our current setup. It works very well.

A new situation has arisen where we need to have the forecast split down to product and plant level.

As is we simply don't have the information at this level of granularity.

I don't see how we can add for instance product to our setup, we have around 20.000 products so the number of CVC's in DP would become massive if we did this.

I was thinking that perhaps something could be done by exporting the relevant key figures to a new DP setup with fewer characteristics (to keep the number of CVC's down) via some infocubes, perhaps some disaggregation could be done via some tables and the BW update rules. This still leaves the issue of how to get the figures properly disaggregated to plant and product though.

Does anyone have experiences on how to get the figures split to lower levels from DP when you're planning on a higher level?
